Storytime in a Bag Explanations

For those of you who don’t know about our Storytime in a Bag collection, the children’s librarians have selected about dozen or so books and bundled them in a bag with craft ideas, music CDs, and other items to allow people to do a storytime just like their done here at the library. Each of the children's staff was asked to explain why they choose the books they did. We’ll post what they said here on the blog.

First up is a selection from Mary Locke.

Chugga-Chugga Choo-Choo written by Kevin Lewis; pictures by Daniel Kirk.
"I knew a book about trains would be a sure winner with toddlers and pre-schoolers. The primary colors of Daniel Kirk's pictures and the familiar toys throughout the book will certainly please all who read it."
